"the names Snake"

Posted : 2 years, 1 month ago on 28 October 2007 11:22 (A review of Escape from New York)

"the names Snake" thats the line that made Kurt Russell famous (in my opinon) but, also inspired the role for which Kurt Russell played in Quentin Tarrantino's "Death Proof".The movie stars Kurt Russell as a Hero of of war who lost in an eye in battle. But, is later brought in for committing a crime or two. But, when air force one goes down in New york City. which is now a prison for "crazies' and those who have committed major crimes. it's up to snake Plissken to save the day.
the movie co-stars Isaac Hayes, Donald Pleasence, Harry Dean Stanton, Adriene Barbeau, and Lee Van Cleef

a modern classic

Posted : 2 years, 1 month ago on 8 October 2007 09:08 (A review of Disturbia)

Remeber the 1989 thriller with Tom Hanks "the burbs" Disturbia follows the same line of brillant story telling. with a great supporting cast. After being put under house arrest for 3 months it seemed as though things couldn't get any worse for Kale Brecht (Shia LaBoeuf,"Transformers", "Even Stevgens") until he gets bored with no tv to watch and no xbox 360 kale starts watching the nieghbors and their daily routines. when a call girl is heard screaming running out of his nieghbor's house (daivd morse) does kale start to get obsessed. Disturbia is a character-driven thrill fest. As Qouted by Richard Roeper (Ebert &Ropeper) "Welcome to Disturbia"

another quentin classic

Posted : 2 years, 2 months ago on 21 September 2007 11:46 (A review of Death Proof)

Death Proof is the second half of Grindhouse the 2 movie feature that bombed (surprisingly ) in theaters. Death Proof stars Kurt Russell in his most badass role since John Carpenter's "Escape From New Tork".Russell plays stuntman mike a no nonsense no bullshit pychopath who kills people with his "Death Proof" car. the one thing that the this movie lacks is the story line. But, the suspense is very much there. with Zoe Bell hanging on top of the hood of a car in an 18 minute car chase.And the enoyable dialogue which is allways hullarious. kurt Russell's very good acting (in this movie) and plenty of good cameos "Death Proof" is sure to please all Tarrantino fans. co-stars Vannessa Ferlito,mary Elizabeth Winstead,Rose Mc Gowan, and Rosario Dawson.

your typical zombie film

Posted : 2 years, 2 months ago on 8 September 2007 11:11 (A review of Halloween)

considering the fact that 'Halloween" is Rob Zombies("House of 1,000 Corpses and "The Devil's Rejects") 3rd feature film its as awesome as ever. However we do see michael myers face and learn how bad his child life was.(not seen in John carpenter's "Halloween") "Halloween" seems like a sequel to one of the "pirates of the carribean " films loaded with tons of nudity,gore,violent killings,and ireverent humor. this could be considered a "sequel" to Zombie's earlier work.

pretty well done

Posted : 2 years, 3 months ago on 24 August 2007 12:00 (A review of The Invasion)

considering the fact that this movie was a production nightmare and had to be re-shot for 3.5 weeks(were not talking half the movie either) and that the star (Nicole Kidamn)was injured. the invasion is an intense fast paced thrill ride. Kidman's performance is nothing short of Nicole Kidman being nicole kidman with the fact that she doesn't notice that the people around her are starting to act different(robots to be exact)around her. Daniel Craig is as always excellent. the movie keeps you guessing but not for long i predicted the end 30 minutes through the feature (which is only 90 minutes) but still found that it was worth the money by the end of the movie. the invasion co-stars Jeffrey Wright who also played felix lieter in the recent bond flick casino royale
